Fibershed is all about local fiber, local dyes, and local labor. We believe a vital need in this community is a directory where fiber producers, processors, natural dyers, spinners, weavers, felters, knitters, apparel designers, artists, and everyone in between can be connected to each other and the public. If you fit any of those categories and are working to use local fiber, local dyes, local labor, and sustainable practices, please fill out our survey below to be included on our website's directory.
